I've also noticed that drivers seem to see me much better in the daytime with the lightbar on. Perhaps it's that they are used to looking for two or more lights as on a car or that they make us look bigger and more threatening. I’ve found that I myself tend to see motorcycles with widely spaced running lights better and that the yellowish tint seems to be more noticeable than the pure white or blue tints.

We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.
